Hi,
[readanysf~] reports time in seconds (with -/+ .5sec accuracy) so it may be not accurate enough.
You didn't say what platform you are on but if you're on linux and you are familiar with SND you could probably be able to swing it with [snd] extern.
In both cases you'd be reading the soundfiles off the HD so their size vs. RAM size are irrelevant.
./MiS

Hi, Im not sure whether PD is actually the write software for this but anyhow maybe you might have some suggestions,
I have 16 audio files that are 28 minutes long each. I need to keep them looping and in sync to a counter that is looping through the frames of a movie in GEM. I can use separate machines for the GEM and audio but they must stay in sync. I also dont reckon I'll be able to load 16 28min sound files into tables due to RAM constraints. Does anyone have any suggestions. Is there a way to play the soundfiles from disk and drive the frame counter in sync.
IF you had any suggestions of ways to do this outside of PD that would be fine too but I'd still need some way to talk to my GEM patch.
Thanks Nick
